A friend of mine called me this evening and was telling me how her boss slaped her yesterday at work just because he came to work late and another thing is that he could nt finish the work her boss gave him the previous day and the boss invited him to her office and after a small argument , she slapped him and walked him out of her office .....
...
..Now he is planing to go back to her office on money and return the slap to her . His reason being that the boss is not the owner of the company that she is just the head of their department ....
.....
....He is very angry now and he is a high tempered person . And worst is that her boss is in the same age bracket with him....
....

Is this your friend a he or her ?
It's not proper to slap an employee or receive a slap from a boss. But the way Nigeria is, whete there's no proper structure anything goes. I'll advise your friend to endure it but if he can't endure look for a way to slap her back .

Guy get a lawyer to take her to court copy HR.
Get settlement out of court, slapping back no go put money for your account.

Today is sunday, get the lawyer now. Make him begin the process. Tomorrow just act calmly as if nothing happen then wait for when letter go come from court.
Her monthly flow will start again only this time from her nose
If you hit her back ahswear you will appear in the newspapers you dont know how women know how to exaggerate issues, besides if you go slap am she fall, do you know her present state of health?
that time you go sabi sey no be everybody wey dey kirikiri plan to go there.

If you do take my advice please allow me come and watch just to see the reaction on her face after the mail is dropped, ahbeg.

Lol.....that got me laughing. But on the other hand, I believe you should be careful when hiring a lawyer cos it could backfire. You could be victimised at the end of the day.

500k above- turn ur left ear

You amaze me, you don't even know you right, my dear regardless of the amount of your salary no fvcking boss has the right to slap you. The dont even have the right to over shout on you, they issue queries, or terminate your appointment, not assault you.

Nigerians just don't know their rights, you can sue for that,,our legal system is just crap.

Going back to the office to slap the abusive boss will not cut it, if he had done that immediately when the slap landed on his cheek, that would have been more gracious and reasonable thing to do.

If I were in his shoe, I really don't know what I would have done in such an awful situation, but I doubt if that would ever happen in civilized nations though.


Only in Nigeria there are no employee rights act, where a head of a department or an employer would do such and go scot-free. One thing is sure though, your friend is not the first to have experienced such abusive treatment from a superior in an office or organization, and won't be the last if situation of things in Nigeria are not changed. A lot of cases bordering on abuses and assaults in a work place go unreported and many employees have had to sell off their rights to ensure a constant flow of income so as to keep body and soul together and ensure they have a paying job that can put the food on the table for their families. Otherwise, they stand the risk of being fired and sent back to the job-hunters market filled with millions of qualified but unemployed graduates.

As regarding the said boss' conduct, it's so unethical of her to have slapped him, regardless of the situation on ground (except, if only she returned a slap initiated by your friend) and a plain assault on your friend's person.


You've said it all, your comment on this subject matter is 100% on point.

It is absolutely wrong. Individual difference I for one will not take it from an Employer how much more from a Boss. There no Labour Law that permits that. it is too late for your friend to go back for a slap. What I will advice here is that If the organisation is well organise he should report the case and the Boss will face the consequence. But if it is not an organised Organisation and he knows that he will suffer when he leaves the job let him pretend as if nothing has happened and continue his job.

His boss has NO right whatsoever to physically abuse anyone. He should report her to the overall manager or owner of the company.
If the management doesn't discipline his boss, he should go and warn her to never to do that to him again or else he'll retaliate with full force, while secretly recording the conversion with his phone (in case of evidence).

If the woman slaps him again, he should punch her in the face really hard. This will teach her a hard lesson of life. I don't support physically abuse of a woman but this case will be totally different IF the woman slaps him again.

There are better and respectful ways of punishing an employee who is inefficient, not by slapping them! Whoever marries that woman will be in real trouble.

You see it's this kind of be careful thing that gave her the courage to try what she did ah swear. Believe me if you call lawyer enter the matter sue the company join for reckless endangerment, for not only exposing but also making such an animal your direct report.
The argument would be they should have carried out a psych evaluation to see if she was suitable for such a position. If dem make mistake allow the thing reach court get like one or two press men (no be you go dis o ask one of your guys so it doesn't start to look as if you're trying to deal with the company directly) they will call you to settle out of court.
Victimisation sha? after dem don sabi say you no dey slack for dealing with them. it won't happen oga.
Do it I swear. meanwhile I get share for the settlement o.

You fit even tie bandage for neck go work tomorrow. if anybody ask no fail to make dem no say na after madam slap you that night your neck begin pain you.

Words cannot describe how angry I am with how we have allowed our rights and dignity to be trampled upon. @OP, the fact that you raised the question beggars belief (but I can understand a little) but some of the comments are, to put it succinctly, shocking.

No one should be "assaulted" be it your wife, husband, younger ones or colleagues (irrespective of their role). I find it it difficult to understand that we, in this part of the world, justify the actions of, for the purpose of simple examples, a husband beating his wife up while everyone (including the parent) stands around to blame the wife of her shortcomings while offering support that the husband has the right to discipline his wife. Same analogy goes for colleagues at work irrespective of the position of the parties involved.

No one has a right to assault anyone in any walks of life. People (especially the victims of such a barbaric act) have allowed allowed this to go too far for too long. Assault is a crime, and according to legal definition "Assault is the act of creating apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact with a person. An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm".

OP, please inform your friend to seek non-partisan, legal assistance redress, firstly through a senior colleague, or a union if you have one. Some companies do have 3rd party mediation group or panel to arbitrate on such matters. Please explore all options available to you as I am not sure what is applicable in your sector or in your state. If all fails you may want to gather evidence and approach private legal or parralegal charity organisations or Victim Support groups. You just might find a lawyer out there who will be willing to take this to court if you would like to go down that route. It may turn out that the company wouldn't like to go to court and resolve it amicably but they will have to pay compensation and settle out of court.

The greatest disservice you could do to yourself is to either (a.) either retaliate with a similar physical assault or (b.) do nothing about it.

No one, no matter how highly placed, should be allowed to assault anyone.
